Republican senator calls for probe of Trump Jr. after wedding party bankrolled by Russian oligarch
Curtis asked the committee to scrutinize Trump Jr.’s foreign relationships and benefits, arguing that both presidential families should face the same standard.
Sen. John Curtis asked the Senate Judiciary Committee to investigate Donald Trump Jr.’s foreign business relationships and benefits after a Russian oligarch helped pay for wedding celebrations. Sen. Richard Durbin said he would support the request, while the committee has not said whether it will investigate.

Dailycallernewsfoundation’s headline also highlights that most members had not opened Curtis’s letter.
